some people make the mistake of thinking the shock is what holds the sled up but it isn't, its the torsion springs. doesn't matter if the shock is good or not its not going to affect the "sag". im not saying that's what your saying, just a lot of people think that

Heavier springs make a big difference. Likely most riders should install them.

Pros have springs on both shocks instead of a spring on the front shock and torsion springs for the back.
Not all shocks have springs. I understand ride-in , a few inches , but ride-in is supposed to be after you sit on a sled, not while it's unloaded. No ?

Think what ur trying to say is Pro's have coil springs,, and the rear doo shock works with a Torsion spring... Both are springs just a different design.
